Hi Ken;
Thank you for responding. When you have some time, I would be
interested in what you have. My ancestor is Duncan Cameron of
Ballichatrigan whose first spouse is unknown. His second wife was Margaret
Mcvorran, whom he married in 1809 at Kidalton. His son Hugh married a
Nancy McNabb in 1826 at Kidalton. I know nothing about Duncan. Hugh came
to Canada in 1847.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Donald,
It was indeed a farm, in the south of the island, and where several
generations of my ancestry lived, from at least the late 1700s to mid
1800s. They were tenant farmers and there were several families living and
working on the farm at any given time. Mine left for Canada in mid 1800s,
while cousins stayed on Islay to the present time.
My lot were mainly McNabb (various spellings) and McVoran (various
spellings, and anglicized in the early 1800s by some family groups to
Morrison). At least one branch in Ontario married a Young (perhaps
yours). I don’t have my data open right now, and seem to be a bit tied up
with another event, but would be interested in pursuing this with you
later.
Merry Christmas and a Vaccinated New Year!
